Barris was referred to as "The King of Kustomizers" for his famous car designs. Apart from designing the Batmobile driven by Adam West on the '66 "Batman" TV series, Barris also kustomized the cars for "North by Northwest," "The Time Machine," "The Munsters" and "The Beverly Hillbillies," among other properties.

To make his most iconic creation, Barris famously bought a 1955 Lincoln Futura for $1, and transformed it into the '66 Batmobile within a mere 15 days. Barris built the car on a budget of $15,000. After the show ended, Barris put the Batmobile on display at his custom car shop in North Hollywood.
